Science and math doesn't get to be more yummy or fun when you get to use Oreo cookies as your tools!
Our class is participating in this 11th annual project created by Jennifer Wagner. She is the creator of Technospud.com. A great online tool that has fabulous projects for teachers to participate in all year round. You can click here to visit her official site.
This years investigation was how many Oreo cookies can you stack before the tower tumbles? Well my class was definitely up to the challenge. There were only two rules...1. Once you released the cookie, you could not touch it again and 2. You could not stabilize the tower you created in any way what so ever. Well, we made our hypothesis and set out to find the answers! The kids got two attempts at stacking and recorded the results in their science journals. Then we created an excel graph showing all the data. We choose the highest amount we could stack, then found the average number for the whole class. It was 13 cookies. Check out the video to see the scientists at work on the scientific method.
